Members of the Dayspring Christian Academy chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) recently held a fundraiser to raise awareness about human trafficking and to provide funds for two organizations working to end trafficking. Students partnered with the local organization North Star Initiative and the international END IT Movement.
The fundraiser itself was a coffee and hot chocolate cafe called Project 1.27 held weekly at the school from mid-January through the end of February. The cafe was named after James 1:27.
Along with the fundraiser, members held a weeklong collection drive of household goods, such as paper towels, hand soap, and cleaning products to donate to North Star. They collected more than 250 items.
North Star Initiative, an organization based in Lancaster County, was founded to support women who are survivors of human trafficking by providing them with care through a Christ-centered focus. The END IT Movement focuses on educating people on the global issue of human trafficking. NHS members also showed the film "Priceless" to high school students to raise awareness about the international scope of the human trafficking industry.
